The Agenda: Seeds of discontent for Liverpool at Europa League drawhttps://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/dec/13/the-agenda-liverpool-europa-league-champions-league
The Anfield club will hope their poor performance in the Champions League does not count against them on Monday<p>Liverpool’s “reward” for finishing third in their Champions League group will be to enter the Europa League, though as one of the four worst performing third-placed teams they will not be seeded. The same goes for Tottenham, whose defeat by Besiktas forced them to settle for second in Group C and meant they risk a last-32 tie against – among others – Internazionale, Napoli or Fiorentina. Everton, on the other hand, are seeded after finishing top of Group H and possible opponents include the French Cup winners Guingamp, who come from a town of 7,500. he draw, not it must be hoped as labyrinthine as the tournament itself, is at noon tomorrow.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/dec/13/the-agenda-liverpool-europa-league-champions-league">Continue reading...</a>LiverpoolTottenham HotspurEvertonKevin PietersenAndrew FlintoffFootballCricketDartsNetballSportSat, 13 Dec 2014 21:00:09 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/dec/13/the-agenda-liverpool-europa-league-champions-leaguePhotograph: Carl Recine/Action ImagesLiverpool will hope their non-seeding for the Europa League round of 32 does not lead to too much despair.

Don't miss: Sport and war, the women's Ashes, Champions League draw and BT's opening schedule, here's this week's …<p>Is fortunately not gurning, tattooed baldies sweating on one another in a chickenwire cage but the far more edifying Imperial War Museum North's, <em>In The Spotlight: Sport and War </em>exhibition (open now, until January, <a href="http://www.iwm.org.uk/" title="">iwm.org.uk</a>), a fascinating examination of sport and the military. Here then is the football presented, at the end of the Great War, to keen escaper and organiser of football matches at the Holzminden POW camp, Major Jack Shaw. He helped build a tunnel through which 30 men had escaped but unfortunately collapsed on the man just in front of Shaw. In his honour the ball was signed by 450 British officers. The exhibition also features posters and intriguing ephemera, including a trench football game, in which a goal is scored by steering a ball past German generals looking humiliated – Helmuth von Moltke gloriously nutmegged! – into a despairing-looking Kaiser's mouth. Fantastic stuff.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/aug/03/liverpool-champions-league-silverstone-bikes">Continue reading...</a>SportLiverpoolFootballBT SportMediaSat, 03 Aug 2013 20:55:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/aug/03/liverpool-champions-league-silverstone-bikesPhotograph: ObserverPhil Tuffnell meets The Observer's You are the Umpire artist Paul Trevillion (right) on The One Show this week.Photograph: ObserverPhil Tuffnell meets The Observer's You are the Umpire artist Paul Trevillion (right) on The One Show this week.Giles Richards2013-08-03T20:55:00ZThe Ashes in tunes, Open appetisers, F1 on film and Arsenal in Vietnamhttps://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jul/13/ashes-the-open-f1-arsenal

Already broadcast but with little fanfare, it's a gem. Coe is joined by Derek Pringle, who selects tunes representing England and Australia, followed by cricket-themed classics from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyWTMhwCoa0" title=""><em>Hedley Verityesque</em></a><em> </em>by Half Man Half Biscuit (chosen ahead of one the Biscuits' finest couplets from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MysHiD1JO2A" title=""><em>We Built This Village on a Trad Arr Tune</em></a>: "Rehearsals afoot for the Christmas Play / It's called 'Roll The Square Arthur' and mind what you say / It's a cricketing farce with a thickening plot / Act One, Scene One – Brenda Blethyn gets shot") to the glorious racket of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB0eF90A9es" title=""><em>Kick Down the Stumps</em></a> by I, Ludicrous. Next, an extended version of Jonathan Agnew's<em> Desert Island Discs</em> (Radio 4, Sunday, 10am), in which the broadcaster talks candidly about his life, family and career. Lastly, Ashes fever continues with the arrival of "cricket tea" crisps from Tyrrells. A "ham, cheese and tomato" flavour created, one assumes, because "cucumber, white bread and Earl Grey tea" didn't focus-group that well.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jul/13/ashes-the-open-f1-arsenal">Continue reading...</a>CricketThe AshesArsenalLiverpoolFormula OneSportSat, 13 Jul 2013 20:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jul/13/ashes-the-open-f1-arsenalPhotograph: Phil Sheldon/Popperfoto/Popperfoto/Getty ImagesNick Faldo will be talking about his Open triumphs at Muirfield on Radio 5 live on Tuesday.
